You dug your way out.

Six hundred pages underground and you still want more dirt under your nails. I love that about you. I’m a little worried about you, but I really love it.

You’ve seen Fréamh in black and white. Now I want to show you the world in color. The maps, the places Naeryn walked, the ground she bled on. I want you to see it the way I do when I close my eyes.

And because I wrote this entire book with music playing, I’m giving you the ten playlists that kept me company through the excavation. Every character has a soundtrack. Every song has a reason for being there. Some of them know things about these characters that I haven’t told you yet.

Here’s what I’ve been keeping for you:

The full-color maps of Fréamh, because some places deserve to be seen in all their terrible beauty.
The Sound of Eden, all ten playlists that accompanied me through the writing of this book.
My Field Notes from the excavation, the discoveries, the coincidences, the things that happened behind the pages, and the moments when I wondered whether I was writing this world or uncovering it.
One letter a month, on a Sunday. A little piece of my world delivered to yours. And when Book II begins to stir, you’ll hear about it there first.

The maps, playlists, and Field Notes are free. Leave me your email, confirm it’s yours, and I’ll send you everything I’ve been keeping aboveground.

Thank you for going all the way down with Naeryn.

I wrote this book with my whole body. There are pieces of me buried in that mountain, tucked between conversations, pressed into the pages where the characters finally found the courage to say what they’d been carrying.

And now you’ve been there too.

There’s something extraordinary about that. About knowing a world that lived inside my head for so long has found somewhere else to exist.

I’m glad it found you.
